Why LinguistPro

Global transcription tools weren't built for South Africa. This one was.

Most AI transcribers stumble on local names, mixed-language sentences and South African accents. LinguistPro is tuned for exactly that.

Made for local speech

Handles South African English and Afrikaans, including natural code-switching mid-sentence between the two, where global tools lose the thread. Plus 11 more world languages, with South African languages (isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana) in beta.

How your data is processed. LinguistPro uses trusted international AI services (including Deepgram and Google) and cloud infrastructure to transcribe your audio, so processing takes place outside South Africa. We don't claim local data residency. Audio is processed to produce your transcript and handled in line with our terms and POPIA obligations. For on-shore or restricted-data requirements, speak to Tech Sight about a custom deployment.
